BUYER’S AGENT

Dana Manson works as a buyer’s agent and marketing specialist. Her philosophy has always been that real estate is not just a home buying or selling business, it is a “people” business. Beyond having the knowledge and experience, being a buyer’s agent is about listening, understanding, communicating and helping people make the best decisions they can given their set of circumstances.

The idea of being in an industry that allows her to serve people and make a difference was one of things that drew her to real estate in the first place. After graduating with a marketing degree from Belmont University in Nashville, she worked in the corporate world in Nashville as a marketing executive for many years. In 1994, she took her marketing experience and desire to be of service and launched a successful real estate career in Nashville. She decided to take some time off to raise a family when her husband’s job relocated them to Orlando and eventually to the Atlanta area.

Dana has been a resident of Forsyth County now for 5 years and has revitalized her real estate career with Christy’s team. She is constantly researching the market and is eager to share her knowledge of the areas ever-growing communities. She has experience working with all levels of buyers, including first time home, families moving to larger homes or relocating to the area and empty nesters wanting to downsize. It’s all about people and her goal is to help her clients find the perfect house while building lasting relationships.

…She kept me in the loop on everything and did follow ups on people that did not leave there opinions. Very happy with her hard work and would tell anybody that wants a go getter agent that she is the one for sure.

Christy demonstrated superior care, due diligence and determination is helping us quickly close both a home sale and a home purchase. Her knowledge and experience in navigating the varied issues that arose was critical in us obtaining the desired results. Don’t make the mistake of choosing an agent who sells homes part-time for a living; go with a pro like Christy!
Steve & Keena Rosetti
Christy sets the bar very high for all other agents. Being familiar with Real Estate myself I was reluctant to using any agent. In hindsight working with Christy was the best decision I made. This is evident in her professionalism, loyalty, care, and commitment to her sellers. From the first day I met Christy she makes you feel reassured the entire process from beginning to end will have her undivided attention and expertise. Simply stated — she does what she says and exceeds all expectations. I highly recommend Christy and know I will be working with her and her associates in the future
